      John French29 July 1873CitizenWest Side, Grave 1332   Year of birth may be 1839. Originally buried at Fort Mojave, Arizona. ----- Multiple people died in and around Fort Mohave in his death year, spread out in a way indicating contagion as one of the causes "The Arizona Miner" out of Prescott, AZ announced his death, saying the distant cause was unknown, but the immediate cause was heart disease. Just three years earlier, the 1870 Census showed him still alive and working at Camp Mohave,living near the garrison, while Arizona was still a territory, not yet a state. He considered himself a laborer, said he was age 30, born NY. (That is the only source for his birth place and year, making it 1839-1840.)

      Hello Jon, I think I may have finally found an answer to this unique belt. I just picked up this RPPC of a Cuban Cavalry soldier dated 1927. This would be consistent with a M1923 Mounted US belt made with WW1 hardware. I'm not certain but it looks to be a good match.  Tim
